I just wanted to give a fair amount of positive press to the Google Mayday Update, so everyone does not think its all bad…
Mayday Facts for My Own Sites
- Website traffic DOWN on approximately 20% of my sites overall.
- On the 20% of the sites effected, Traffic is down 70-80%
- On the sites affected… Google STILL DOES send traffic (Not a deindexing thing)
- Are you ready for this…
- Are you SURE you are ready…
- Earnings on One of the Effected sites has increased by 200%!
Thats right… serious… 20% of the traffic, 200% of the earnings over the last 3 days!
Mayday has done more than stem the flow of traffic… it has stopped sending non-converting traffic!
Smack me now… I may like this latest change!

I have been doing my part to "Build the Internet" since 1994, when I built my first website! Since then, I have built hundreds of niche websites for myself and many others, focused on design, applications, ecommerce, search optimization and internet marketing. 
I found that one of my most popular sites that pretty much gets the most clicks to ePN too a nose dive from the number 1 spot for the keyboard (to my home page) to page 2 for some recent posts (related to the keywords).
However, like you, the knock on effect of this was that less “tire kickers” were clicking to eBay and therefore my EPC has been staying at a more healthy figure rather than 0.02 or something.
Sure, I would love my traffic back as it all helps, but there have not been too many drastic income changes for me so far.
@Tao – I am far away from eBay, so I don’t have their metrics to go by Tao. (BTW, we need to transfer GPG to you , its in my GD account still)
The site in question though, EPC ($/100 clicks) has more than doubled in the last few days.
